Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 254: Giant Centipede of Amazon (Subscription Request)

"It's really good. It tastes like wood."

"Besides, it doesn't have any taste." After saying that, An Yifei wiped the corners of her mouth.

A water vine filled both Meng Chao and her.

Next, fill the kettle and store more water.

They didn't know when they could find water, so they could only store as much water as possible and drink less water.

After everyone’s water bottles were full, we were ready to continue on our journey.

After taking just two steps, Meng Chao stopped.

"Senior sister, throw the spear."

Because Meng Chao was going to hold a hunting bow, he did not have a javelin in his hand.

But An Yifei, Liu Yan, Huang Bo and the others all had javelins that Meng Chao had sharpened last night.

"Have you found the snake?" An Yifei handed over the javelin curiously.

"Well, it's probably about one or two kilograms in weight. Everyone can have some meat at noon." Meng Chao handed the wooden bow to An Yifei and took the javelin from her hand.

Then Meng Chao walked quickly towards a place, swung his stick and hit a poisonous snake.

The poisonous snakes originally escaped, but were caught up by Meng Chao.

After a few fierce blows, the snake's head was smashed to pieces by Meng Chao.

Then he walked straight forward and cut off the snake's head.

After wiping the machete on the ground, Meng Chao put it back into the holster and then picked up the snake.

With a strong pull, the snake's bones were broken and the blood was drained.

After cleaning it, Meng Chao put it into the small basket that An Yifei gave him.

An Yifei and Liu Yan were very hardworking last night. They made six baskets in total, one for each person.

There was also an extra large basket filled with acai berries in the backpack, which was now carried on Zhang Jin's back.

Not only Zhang Jin was carrying things, but An Yifei and Liu Yan were also carrying some firewood.

With a snake, everyone felt much better.

The thing that is most abundant in this jungle is probably snakes.

After walking for a distance, Meng Chao and his team made a new discovery.

A vine plant with many green fruits on it.

"What kind of plant is this? Can the fruit be eaten? It looks very similar to passion fruit?" Liu Yan asked curiously.

"It's not like it, it's passion fruit. I know the passion fruit tree." An Yifei said with certainty.

"Indeed, I wonder if they are almost ripe. Let's pick a few and have a look."

As soon as Meng Chao said this, An Yifei handed him the javelin, showing a very good understanding between them.

After handing the wooden bow to An Yifei, Meng Chao knocked down a passion fruit.

An Yifei took out a machete and cut open the fruit. A rich fragrance came to her face, which made her feel refreshed.

The yellow flesh indicates that it is ripe.

An Yifei put it to her mouth and licked it with her tongue.

“So sour~”

"It's too sour, even sourer than vinegar."

An Yifei frowned, obviously unable to stand this level of sourness.

"Meng Chao took the remaining half and tasted it as well."

"It's really sour, but it's ripe. You can pick some and soak them in water to drink, or add them to food when cooking to enhance the flavor."

As he spoke, Meng Chao went on to knock down twenty or so passion fruits, which they collected and put in Zhang Jin's backpack.

"Wait a minute, Meng Chao, look, is that cassava over there?"

When everyone was about to leave, Zhang Jin suddenly pointed at a few plants in the distance and said happily, "I don't know other plants, but I definitely have to know cassava."

In the wilderness, cassava can be used as a staple food.

"Yes, it's cassava, but this seems to be bitter cassava. It needs to be soaked before it can be eaten, otherwise it may cause poisoning." Meng Chao explained.

"Let's pull it out and see if it's bitter cassava. If it's bitter, we won't eat it for now. We'll soak it for a few days after we find water."

As he spoke, Meng Chao walked towards the cassava plants.

He actually hoped that these cassava were sweet cassava so that he could eat them directly after roasting them at noon.

Everyone came over, and just when Meng Chao was about to pull out the cassava, An Yifei suddenly screamed.

"Centipede. Such a big and long centipede."

Meng Chao took a quick look and saw an Amazonian giant centipede crawling quickly.

"nice one!"

Meng Chao simply pulled out his machete and rushed forward without saying a word.

【nice one?】

[Did I hear correctly? Brother Chao said that such a disgusting and large centipede is a good thing? ]

[Chicken is crunchy and has several times more protein than beef. How can it not be a good thing?]

[No way, who would eat this? ]

[I just said this thing can enhance male sexual function, how many men don’t like it!!!]

[It looks so disgusting, who would dare to eat it? It's so long, probably half a meter, bigger than a snake.]

[This rainforest is so scary. How can there be such a big centipede? It scared me to death.]

Except for Meng Chao, everyone else thought that the centipede was extremely scary and disgusting.

Such a horrible thing, how could you catch it and eat it?
It’s so scary, who dares to eat it!
After a while, Meng Chao took the fish whose head he had cut off and put it into the basket.

No one came over to watch, as if they all found it hard to accept that Meng Chao caught such a terrifying creature.

Zhang Jin and Huang Bo had already pulled out those cassava plants, which were indeed somewhat different from the sweet cassava that Meng Chao and his team had obtained on the deserted island.

In times of food scarcity, the bitter cassava can be eaten if it is properly prepared.

If there are other foods, try to avoid eating bitter cassava.

After all the bitter cassava was dug out, everyone continued on their journey.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, we soon made a new discovery.

"Meng Chao, that's taro over there, right?" Huang Bo said excitedly, pointing in the distance.

Meng Chao took a quick look and saw a plant similar to taro.

We need to get closer to know whether it is true or not.

Because there is a very similar plant called the weeping angel, which is inedible and poisonous.

"In the Amazon rainforest, you don't have to worry about food. You can find food just by walking around. But you have to be careful because there are all kinds of wild animals, poisonous creatures, and insects."

"It's quite easy to survive in this place." Zhang Jin said very easily.

From last night till now, they have not encountered any crisis.

So, he felt it was quite relaxing in such a place.

In contrast, the supplies on the deserted island where Zhi Mengchao and his companions lived were much scarcer, and it took a lot of time to collect food.

Meng Chao felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Jin said. There was indeed no shortage of food in the Amazon jungle, and there were animals that could be hunted everywhere.

If we could find a river, we wouldn't have to worry about food.

But such places are countless times more dangerous than other places. It is more important to pay attention to attacks from various animals than to find food.

Because you won’t die from starvation for a few days, but you might die if you are attacked by poisonous insects or animals.
